HI ASTROARTISTS,ALL O.K.?I’M FINE IN THIS MOMENT.YESTERDAY, FINALLY,AFTER TWO DAYS OF BAD WEATHER,RAIN ,WIND,THUNDERSTORM AND LANDSLIDES,ONE GOOD EVENING FOR OBSERVATION.I SEE THE MOON CRESCENT AND JUPITER AT EAST AND I SAY:” I WANT TO MADE THE NEW SKETCH ABOUT MOON AND JUPITER!”.
I TAKE MY REFRACTOR KENKO 80mm AND 1000mm OF FOCAL LENGHT AND STAY BEHIND MY HOME.THE SKY WAS CLEAR,THE WIND HAVE CLEAN THE AIR.I START MY SKETCH AT 10,15 p.m. AND IMMEDIATELY I SEE IN THE EYEPIECE THE FANTASTIC VIEW OF SCHICKARD WITH OTHER CRATERS NEAR HIM.I END MY WORK AT 12,00 a.m.OF THE DAY AFTER.I WAS TIRED BUT SATISFIED ABOUT RESULT.
I HOPE LIKE YOU…..CLEAR SKY AND GOOD WORK AT ALL.
